Part 3 The Tale of the Wind Episode 1 Chapter 3 The Ice Roars
In October of the fifth and sixth eight years of the El Tieno calendar, the Cloud Dragon Pavilion was refined
Since a few days ago, the entire martial arts has been plunged into an uneasy storm, especially the Yunlong Pavilion, the political center and the general fortress of the Wang Zi family, which is the center of this storm.
Since the Wang Zi family did not deliberately hide the news, every orc of Wulian knew that their supreme leader, Wang Wu, had left Wulian in order to rescue his brother and went to the free city to fight to the death against the strong enemy.
The result of this battle has been revealed by Zhou Gongjin's appearance. The great Wang Wu was defeated in this battle, which was admittedly a blow to the martial refining orcs, but unlike the past orc leaders who lost their support and prestige with the defeat, Wang Wu's long-term dedication to the martial refining orcs was completely revealed at this time.
Will the greatest Heavenly Sword King Five be defeated one day? This question used to be a nightmare in the hearts of the martial arts orcs, but when the nightmare finally happened, the orcs found that their respect for Wang Wu was still the same, and they did not follow this leader because of his big fists, but from the bottom of their hearts they loved and embraced this stupid man who was left in the world.
When the results of the battle came back, Wu Lian set off a big stir that had not been seen since the Jinhua Rebellion, and the orcs sincerely prayed that Wang Wu would return as soon as possible. And if something happens to Wang Wu, there is no need to wait for Yunlong Pavilion to give an order, even if tens of millions of martial arts orcs die in a foreign land, they will also vow to wash everything of the enemy with blood.
But...... Wang Wu's whereabouts remain a mystery. After that earth-shattering battle, where did Wang Wu go? Is he dead or alive? Zhou Gongjin never mentioned it, and no one else knew.
Yunlong Pavilion, which has become the center of power, only knows that Wang Wu has survived since the battle, but his whereabouts are unknown, and the intelligence network that Gongsun Chuqian can grasp is also paralyzed for a while because of the sudden collapse of the Qinglou Alliance, and it cannot function normally.
(Fifth brother, where have you been?) I know you're still alive, but why can't I feel you? Hurry back to martial arts! Your wife, your relatives, and your people are all waiting for your return. )
Since Wang Wu left, Gongsun Chuqian made an emergency explanation, and came to the balcony at the highest point of the Wangjia General Fort alone and looked to the northeast.
How strong her husband's martial arts are and what is the secret, Gongsun Chuqian knows very well that he can defeat him like this, Zhou Gongjin This man is really terrifying and terrifying, but no matter what, now she is only looking forward to her husband's return, since she can't get information, she can only stand here, use her whole spirit to sense, hoping to detect something.
Such efforts finally had a response a few days after the end of the Battle of Jerusalem, when Gongsun Chuqian finally sensed the familiar breath, flew out of the Wangjia General Fort with the power of the heavens, and rushed to the border of the Yunlong Pavilion an hour later, when he happened to meet a tribal leader of the family, rushed to the direction of the Yunlong Pavilion, and saw her hurriedly saluting.
"Don't talk nonsense, where is the fifth brother now? You tell me the news directly. ”
"Yes, if what the other party said is correct, the fifth and twenty-sixth young have just returned to martial arts and are under the protection of our clansmen, but...... But it was a strange situation, and we didn't know how to describe it. ”
Finally had the whereabouts of her lover, the anxious Gongsun Chuqian didn't notice the difference in the other party's face, seeing that this tiger-headed orc was comparing hands and feet for a long time, she still couldn't say clearly, she didn't say much, asked the direction, and went straight to the past.
Jerusalem to the Cloud Dragon Court. The distance between thousands of mountains and rivers can send people back within a few days, and at such a speed, in addition to the flying machines of the Ancient Demon Dao, it is the flight of a Heavenly Rank Martial Artist and the teleportation of a Heavenly Rank Magician. In other words, most likely there was a Heavenly Rank Martial Artist who rescued people from Zhou Gongjin's men, and then brought the two back to Martial Arts.
Who is this person? With this ability to save people in front of Zhou Gongjin, his martial arts must not be weak, and what is he doing with grace and martial arts?
Worthy of the name of the heroine among women, Gongsun Chuqian galloped like the wind under her feet, but she was still thinking about it in her head, but when she finally arrived, she frowned at the situation in front of her.
"What is this doing?"
didn't see her husband, Gongsun Chuqian only saw hundreds of clansmen surrounding a piece of giant ice, more than three feet long, wide, and high, exuding cold air from time to time, and next to this giant ice stood a masked person, as if guarding the giant ice, and was clasping his fists at her.
"Hello Mrs. Wang, the name has been admired for a long time. ”
Not only masked, but also densely dressed all over his body, not showing any skin, Han Te, said coldly in a very rigid voice.
Han Te, who was entrusted by Hai Jiaxuan, guessed what was inside based on his own speculation. When he realized that Hai Jiaxuan might have rescued Wang Wu with the technique of freezing into ice, and entrusted himself to send him to Wulian, Han Te did have a sense of duty, but he also had an ominous premonition, so for the sake of safety, it was more appropriate to be a masked man who did not want to be known.
"Mrs. Wang is the current leader of martial arts, and I will rest assured if I hand it over to you. ”
After Han Te finished speaking in a false voice, he punched the ice with his backhand, and output his internal force according to the way Hai Jiaxuan taught, and melted the outer layer of this double layer of frozen ice with the internal strength of the Yan system, and this incomparably strong Xiaoice mountain was dissipated into a large amount of vapor at a speed of a hundred times normal in an instant, revealing the affairs inside.
(hum...... Very good, the task has finally been completed, and I have a heart to send Wang Daxia back safely. )
Thinking so in his heart, Han Te turned his head slightly, wanting to see the heroic face of the idol before leaving, how could he know what he saw, but he was so shocked that his eyes protruded, and then there was a terrible scream from his head.
"Ahhh~~"
Although she had made some imaginations in advance and had made bad psychological preparations, Gongsun Chuqian did not expect that the meeting with her husband would be like this.
The white vapor dispersed, revealing two pieces of ice in the Xiaoice Mountain, and two human bodies were frozen in the ice, even under the scorching sun, there was no melting, but scattered the cold air, so that the orcs surrounding these two pieces of giant ice couldn't stop shaking.
This is a very pure ice internal force, protecting people in the Xuan Ice, not allowing the weak true qi to drain, which can be called the best treatment for serious injuries and life-saving, and the seriously injured Wang Wu and Wang Xizhi can be protected by this technique, which is naturally a great luck in misfortune.
But what made Gongsun Chuqian frightened was that on the two pieces of huge ice, the words were engraved with sharp swords, and on the top of Wang Wu's piece, it was written "The triumphant return of the great heroes of martial arts", which I don't know whether it was a tribute or sarcastic words;
After the shock, the surging anger erupted fiercely, but when Gongsun Chuqian looked around, he could no longer find the figure of the masked man, and he fled.
"Who? Who did it? If you have the guts, come out for me immediately! I remember your voice and back, don't try to escape for me! Get out of here, I won't let you go!"
Flying sand and rocks, the ground shook, and the angry Gongsun Chu Qian, the roar made the orcs present just want to hug their heads and run away, and everyone was frightened, for fear that this account would be calculated on their heads, and it took a long time for a few elders with relatively high seniority to arrive and try to calm the Valkyrie's anger.
In a way, the Valkyrie that the martial arts orcs are most proud of, is also a mobile volcano that can walk, her anger is like the wrath of the sky, and it is difficult to stop, if there is no Wang Wu to stop it, I don't know where it will burn, however, this time the luck is good, a sudden accident terminated the volcanic eruption.
"Whew~~"
Some kind of sharp fluctuation, like a silent shock wave, instantly made all the orcs tremble, and the more sensitive races even stood on end. This fluctuation lasted only a brief moment, and then vanished, and the orcs looked left and right, but could not figure out what was happening.
(What's wrong...... At that moment just now, the heaven and earth vitality of the entire space was in chaos, and the elves in the mountains and fields were all scratching. )
The inexplicable warning signal made Gongsun Chuqian's anger disappear in an instant, and he turned his head to look at the northeast, the source of the fluctuation. But it was only for a short time, and then she remembered the reason why she was furious.
"Don't pull me, I'm going to slaughter this turtle egg with a hidden head and tail! I dare to do this kind of thing to my husband and uncle, I must slaughter him~~"
The supreme leader of Wu Lian returned home safely on this day, which is a great joy enough to warm the hearts of the entire Wu Lian people, but why did the orcs repeatedly inquire to the outside world later, who sent Marshal Wang Wu back safely, and his attitude was extremely evil, this is not known to outsiders.
At that time, relying on the secret secrets taught by Hai Jiaxuan, Han Te, who was secretly hiding behind a big tree and kept wiping the beads of sweat on his forehead, couldn't help but complain in his heart.
(I'm really miserable by that white-haired bastard now, the matter is so big, I can't go to the demon world to avoid the limelight...... )
※※※
Reynes's lone army is currently in a troubled state. In addition to the external environment, they also suffer from internal problems, although in the past they have worked together to fight against the Eight Snakes, but this time Lancelot and Gengoro are not there, and without the person who coordinates the lubrication, the chance of friction is much higher.
Centered on the grievances of Nier and Izumi Sakura, big and small things can rub sparks. If it weren't for the fact that Nier still has a minimum surname, telling herself from time to time that she puts the overall situation first, and Izumi Sakura has repeatedly deliberately tolerated it, then there is no need to wait to face Gong Jin, and a big war will break out here.
A group must have a leader who gives orders. In this team of four, Izumi Sakura is the most capable of planning, although Feng'er and Nier's martial arts are high, at most they can only respond appropriately to the situation, not let things worsen, and they are not very able to take the initiative to make the situation better.
Although Nier occasionally has amazing outstanding performances, but the choice of the two, Yuxue and Kaede still believe in Izumi Sakura, after all...... Amazing performance, sometimes not only the enemy, but also your own people.
However, although everyone knows the relationship between Lancelot and Izumi Sakura, this relationship has not obviously surfaced, and Izumi Sakura, who lacks a name and has an unknown concubine, really has no position to command Reyns.
Izumi Sakura herself knows this, so she can only calm Nier's displeasure by constantly showing her abilities. And Niel really admires Izumi Sakura's insight and judgment, because when she listens to the three of them's investigations, she can quickly summarize the results.
"From the conclusion of your monitoring of the engineer troops, I think Senior Brother Gong Jin's excavation this time is not like the Bai Family Taiyan Academy, digging out various artifacts, analyzing their techniques, and using them to help the research of the Ancient Demon Dao, but to look for something. ”
Izumi Sakura said: "And if the information he gets is the same as mine, then what Senior Brother Gongjin is looking for is a super weapon that has been passed down from prehistoric times. ”
From the past to the present, there are all kinds of rumors about the primeval era, true, false, academic, and mythical, and it is impossible to count the real ones. There have been countless speculations about this once-existent civilization, and in these oral stories, there are rumors of certain artifacts being born.
In the long history of the Wind Continent, there have been some divine weapons, because they were used to kill dragons and kill demon kings, and became famous, such as the "Jade Sword" worn by Lu You, and the "Cross Holy Sword" of Amakusa Shiro, which are very famous divine weapons, and when these weapons disappear from history for some reason, and their whereabouts are unknown, they become legendary artifacts.
However, there is no record of the prehistoric civilization that took place, and future generations can only speculate on the prosperity of that civilization at that time by relying on similar archaeological actions. If there is any organization that has a considerable understanding of that past, it must be the Reyns Bai family, but there are also some unknown secrets hidden in the White Deer Cave.
"I used to be in the back mountain of White Deer Cave and read some scrolls. Some of them were anecdotes that could not be determined, and some were highly classified documents, which were not to be viewed by any elder unless they had the permission of Master Lu. ”
Izumi Sakura said: "At the end of that period of prehistoric civilization, several forces belonging to different continents were in a state of confrontation, and each other developed powerful weapons to destroy the surname, which was originally used to deter and maintain the confrontation, but in the end, people's ambition overrode reason, and several forces used these weapons to attack each other across continents and oceans, causing natural disasters [***], which finally caused the civilization to perish, and the earth entered the ice age......"
Because the matter is too far away, Feng'er and Nier don't feel any impact in their ears, but like listening to a certain history lesson, and they have a feeling of "the ancient moon shines on the present" for the past that has passed.
"It is no longer known what the actual appearance of that prehistoric war was, but from the records, it is believed that there was a powerful weapon in it, which caused great damage. ”
Everyone had seen the Chaos Fire Crossbow and knew the great lethality of that weapon, but in the eyes of ordinary people, the Heavenly Rank Martial Artist was also a super weapon, so when Izumi Sakura said this, the others didn't have any specific feelings.
Izumi Sakura didn't say much, her fingers lightly traced on the ground, and everywhere, a pattern was clearly drawn, and in just a few strokes, Feng'er and Ni'er had already recognized that it was the map of the northern part of the Wind Continent.
"On the other side of Alcatraz, you should know what that is, right?"
At the northern end of the Continent of Winds, the strait facing the island of West West Koga presents a beautiful semi-circular arc of the entire coast, which seems to have been dug up by force, and there are countless myths and legends circulating in the local area, trying to explain this strange geographical landscape.
“...... However, the scroll I saw in Bailu Cave was based on the analysis of the magnetic gas and geological structure of the leylines, and concluded that the land was not naturally generated, but the result of acquired human destruction. ”
Izumi Sakura also explained that later more detailed research reports have deduced that this is the result of being bombarded by some powerful weapon, and that blow not only caused the entire land to be wiped out, but also the Continent of Wind has been missing a corner since then, and the residual energy has affected the nearby leylines for a longer time, resulting in hundreds of millions of years later, the Alcatraz Island located in this range is still a magnetic field that is complex and cannot be completely sealed, and has become a special location for the exit of the realm tunnel.
"This report is an unexpected conclusion obtained thousands of years ago when researching the causes of the formation of Alcatraz, and it is believed that the White Character Family also has similar confidential research, but it has not been published to the public...... People in ancient times did not seem to think that when a weapon was so powerful that the person who used it no longer had the ability to carry it, the civilization was doomed. ”
But...... What if that weapon still remains, and if those weapons that once destroyed the primeval civilization were rediscovered and used, what impact would it have on the current Wind Continent?
"In that case, it's already obvious!"
Nier Huo Ran stood up, her swift movements like a female leopard, if it weren't for the bloody gauze still wrapped around her waist, it would really make people forget the fact that her injuries had not healed.
"We should just go right in and smash him and his plot before the Iron Mask has a chance to unleash that weapon, and that's all it takes. ”
"However, the existence of this weapon is only my personal speculation, and it has not been confirmed, and the relationship between that weapon and Jerusalem cannot be confirmed, even if the speculation is true, it is best for the experts of the Ancient Demon Dao to ...... it."
Izumi tried to dissuade her, but Niel, who had the intention of letting her give orders, remained silent and did not resist the instructions of the orderer, even if she did not want to.
Feng'er saw that the two sides had different ideas, so she made a more pertinent suggestion, hoping to enter the ruins, not to assassinate, but to simply investigate first.
Nier's performance was surprisingly "sensible", and Izumi Sakura was pleasantly surprised, but she was also very hesitant. Jerusalem is the center of gravity of the enemy's forces, and the danger of its own army, which is wounded and wounded, is so high that it is almost like walking on thin ice, and although it has been smooth so far, the luck of the past is not a guarantee of future success.
Nier's carelessness and Sister Feng'er's impatience are not the way to serve the army, but even if it is herself, a small voice will occasionally sound in her heart, asking herself if she can really be sure that such caution is right, and if she really misses the opportunity to stop the enemy, how much will it cost to make up for it in the future?
At this time, an event influences Izumi's decision.
First, there was a violent vibration of the ground under his feet, followed by an atmospheric fluctuation that even Wu Lian could feel, violently shaking everyone's senses, and finally what appeared in front of everyone's eyes, a huge pillar of purple light, shot out of the distant city of Jerusalem and went straight into the clouds.
Ben stood at the mouth of the cave, looking at the purple pillar of light in the distance, Izumi Sakura's dress fluttered slightly, and her delicate face, which was pale because of her injury, reflected a faint purple red, and what her eyebrows contained was a very ominous feeling.
"Let's try it, if the barrier to defend the ruins is the immortal technique of the White Deer Cave, I can try to make an invisibility charm, if it really touches the barrier, then pray that the device connected to the barrier is not an orbital light cannon!"
